COLONEL WEST comes from the
bletonian and Mambrins Chief. His sire and
the sire of his dam both possessed speed and

In one animal. the blood is doubly valuable.
Sentinel. WoodfOrd Manbrino. and Alex Alb
dallah have shown the capacity of not only
getting sons and daughters that could trot. but

and not sired as many trotters as Sentinel sired

sevlnteen others with records below 2: 80. His
sons have sired thirty one 2: 80 performers and
his daughters have prOduced eight such. II
the difference in their length of life and their
opportunity is taken into account sentinel is
the equal If not the superior of his great broth
er. There are no two full brothers that have
ever lived that can make an equal showing,
This shows that the warm blood of Lady Patri-
OF commin gled most kindly with that of the
great founder OF the Hambletonian family.
The sire of Col. Vests DAM W oodford Man,
brino. as a trotter. campsigner and sire, has
never had but one superior George Wilkes.
His record Of 3: u was obtained when fifteen
wears old. and when he was weak and wasted
by disease He j. credited wi h q larger per
cent. of trotters for the number of fna1s than
any ether sire He sired Abbottsford, 2:la1&;

Princeps and Pancoast two of the sensational
sIres of 1856 Col Vests grand dam was sired
by Alexis Abdallah, horse " hose descendants
lead those of any otaer sons of Hambletonian.
From his loins have come such great sires as
Almont, Belmont. Woods Hambletonian, SC,
&C. ALI this mbination of the bloc of these
greatest sIres of these great families is built
upon a solid foundation of thoroughbIe ed blood
running back four generations.
Individually, Col West is all Shat his breed
ing would indicate-large. strong and smooth.
with the best of feet and limbs He has never
been handled professionally. but was driven a
mile over the Ravenna track in 2: 374 last half
in 1:11. He has never had access to any well
bred mares. but from ordinary mares he has
sired a class OF roadsters that will command
the attention of BUYERS. His action is very
fine, and he goes In that grand majestic. COM
manding style Thar is SO attractive to horsemen
As ali The sires in hls line have been posi-
tive. potent sires, we count on Col. West being
an important factor in the improvement oil the
road horse of this section.
We submit these few facts, hoping it will
cause our breeders to carefully weigh mis- mer-
its and analyZe the value of his blood lines. 1t
will be seen that he is not depending upon the
number of lines of Messenger blood. but is full
of the best lines on TOP CLOSE UP. Nor is he
from a line that depends on an accident that
